Primeiro acorde: Am 8 acordes identificados

Am Em Am Em

It all began when they took me from my home and put me on

Am Em Am Em

Death Row, a crime for which I’m totally innocent, you know.

Am Em Am Em

I began to warm and chill to objects and their fields,

Am Em Am Em

a ragged cup, a twisted mop, the face of Jesus in my soup,

Am Em Am Em

those sinister dinner deals, the meal trolley's wicked wheels,

Am Em

a hooked bone rising from my food,

Am Em

and all things either good or ungood.

Am E

And the mercy seat is waiting, and I think my head is burning,

C G Bb

and in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing of the truth.

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,

F Am Em Am Em

and anyway I told the truth, and I'm not afraid to die.

Am E C

I hear stories from the chamber, Christ was born into a manger,

G

and like some ragged stranger he died upon the cross.

Bb

Might I say it seems so fitting in its way,

F Am Em Am Em

he was a carpenter by trade, or at least that's what I'm told.

Am Em Am Em

My kill-hands tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist,

Am Em Am Em

that filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist.

Am E

In Heaven His throne is made of gold,

C

the ark of His Testament is stowed,

G

a throne from which I'm told all history does unfold.

Bb

It's made of wood and wire, and my body is on fire

F Am

and God is never far away.

E C

Into the mercy seat I climb, my head is shaved, my head is wired,

G

and like a moth that tries to enter the bright eye,

Bb

I go shuffling out of life, just to hide in death a while,

F Am

and anyway I never lied.

E

And the mercy seat is waiting, and I think my head is burning,

C G Bb

and in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing of the truth.

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,

F Am

and anyway I told the truth, and I'm not afraid to die.

E

And the mercy seat is burning, and I think my head is glowing,

C G Bb

and in a way I'm hoping to be done with all this twisting of the truth.

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,

F Am

and anyway there was no proof, and I'm not afraid to die.

E

And the mercy seat is glowing, and I think my head is smoking,

C G Bb

and in a way I'm hoping to be done with all these looks of disbelief.

A life for a life, and a truth for a truth,

F Am

and I’ve got nothing left to lose, and I’m not afraid to die.

E

And the mercy seat is smoking, and I think my head is melting,

C G Bb

and in a way that’s helping to be done with all this twisting of the truth.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,

F Am

and anyway I told the truth, but I’m afraid I told a lie.

( Am E C G Bb F Am ) (3x)
